Diamondshipping! Yay! I didn't know what to write about, but I tried my best in coming up with an idea! I hope you guys enjoy it! Well, whoever is reading...If there is anyone left...If there is, this is high school AU. Kaito is 16, Rio is 12, and Droite is 17.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal.
"Ahhh...I love the smell of trees...The quietness of the forests...Magnificent..." Rio sighed to herself in happiness as she was perched comfortably up on a tree outside of the school building. Suddenly, she saw a bird and quickly sketched it for her collection. She also took notes on the interesting features of the birds...
"Hmm...This image is not my best, but I hope it to be good enough for my collection..." She then begins analyzing the form of the bird she sketched. "This bird...I love it...Look at all these interesting features-" Rio interrupted herself when she saw two people coming towards the tree that she was perched on. "Oh, great," Rio muttered under her breath.
The two people were a girl and a boy (Figures). Most likely for the girl to confess her feelings to the guy who she doesn't even know. As she saw them coming closer, she could make out one of the two people. The guy. Tenjo Kaito. The current teenage "heartthrob" in the school right now and currently a junior. The girl, however, who was confessing looked like a senior. Unfortunately for Rio, they stopped directly under her.
'Hmm...Will The Tenjo Kaito say yes to her feelings, or will he reject her...? Besides that, I should leave to not invade their-Wait! They are the ones invading on me! I am comfortable here...' Before Rio could say anything or do anything, the famous junior began speaking.
"What do you want Droite?" So the girl's name was Droite...Why couldn't she have a name like that?!
Droite blushed and looked down. "Well...I...Ever since you've saved me from that lab accident, I have been thinking about you..."
Rio rolled her eyes at the girl's word choices. Really? A cliche confession? Just because he saved her? Next thing you know, she is going to say that she has been watching him from afar-
"...And I've been watching you from afar..." Rio facepalmed. Okay.
Before Droite could speak again, Kaito beat her to it. "Let me guess. You are here to say that you are completely in love with me just because of that-"
"It's not just because of that!" Droite angrily interrupted. Kaito stopped and waited. Droite looked down at the grass. "I...all the times I've seen you...I've noticed that you don't smile at all...And I've noticed your personality..."
Kaito just stared at her. "Where are you going with this?" he bluntly asked, wishing she could just get straight to the point.
Droite closed her eyes. Then she opened them with full determination and looked straight at Kaito. "Will you go out with me?!"
Kaito blinked a few times, an impassive look on his face. "No. I don't have time to mingle with those things."
Droite smiled sadly and faced down. "I figured...The Tenjo Kaito would never go out with someone...Much less me..."
Kaito sighed and looked to the side. "Look. I have other things to worry about. Being in a relationship is not included."
Droite nodded. "I know...Well, see you..." That was the last thing she said as she turned around and left into the school building.
Kaito watched her leave. When she was gone, he went by the tree Rio was perched on and leaned on its trunk. "Well that went well."
"You said it." Kaito froze when he heard a voice. He looked up and saw a blue-haired girl laying on the tree trunk comfortably. By her appearance, she looked much younger than a freshman, but she had to at least be one to even get into high school.
"Who are you?!" Kaito demanded, angry that he was spied on.
Rio smirked down at him. "It's not very polite to demand for people's names, Mr. Tenjo. You could say 'May I ask for your name?' or 'May you please tell me who you are' instead of what you asked me. So impolite," Rio stated smugly and muttered the last part. She then began to go back to her bird sketching.
Kaito glared even harded at her. First, this girl spies on him. Second, she is "teaching" him a lesson in manners? Third, she goes back to what she was doing?! Oh she was SO going to get it! But first, he needed to get her down from the tree... "Listen. I don't like it when people spy on me. Especially little 5-year-old girls."
Rio twitched. 'What should I do? It's obvious he is trying to bait me...But I just can't let that insult go unnoticed!' "For your information, I am twelve years old! But at least I don't act like I'm ten years old like someone around here..."
Kaito smirked. "As a matter of fact, I am sixteen years old. In case you don't know how to do math, that is a four year difference."
Rio glared harder at him. "You know what?! You are so irritating! The most irrating person I've ever met! They must have got your age mixed up or something because you are right down wrong in the head!"
Kaito twitched at the insult. This girl has guts...Well, sheis a twelve year old-Wait! "If you are a twelve-year-old, then how did you get into this high school?"
Rio rolled her eyes. "Isn't it obvious? I obviously skipped some grades."
Kaito mumbled, "Sure doesn't look like it..."
Rio glared. "Hmmph!" She got her sketch book and jumped from the tree branch to the ground. Ironically, she landed as swift as a cat. "You are so annoying! I need to leave from your presence!" Before Rio could even step two steps, Kaito grabbed her arm.
"You will not be going anywhere little girl until you tell me why you were spying on me," Kaito threatened.
Rio gulped. 'Scary...But I won't let him intimidate me!' "Technically, I wasn't spying on you. You and Droite-san were invading my territory!" Rio glared at Kaito.
Kaito chuckled. What a stange girl. "Territory? Little girl. This is a high school. There is no such thing as a territory owned by someone. The government already has a monopoly on it. In case you don't know, a monopoly is-"
"I know what a monopoly is!" Rio exclaimed in frustration.
Kaito smirked. "And I am not talking about the game-"
"I know you are not talking about the game! Look! If you are still mad about me 'spying' on you, it's your own fault!" Rio yelled.
Kaito raised an eyebrow. "My fault?" Seriously, this girl is asking for trouble!
Rio nodded triumphantly. "Yeah! It's your fault for not checking your surroundings before you let Droite-san confess to you! Who knows, there could have been the school paparazzi hiding in the bushes, ready to create scandals that involve you."
Kaito blinked once. Then twice...He hated to admit it, but the little girl was right. He needed to be more careful around school... "...Whatever. The people here naturally respect me and-"
"You can't expect people to naturally respect you. You have to earn their respect one way or another. You must have done something to have their respect. Period."
Kaito became silent. This girl... When Rio heard his silence, she turned around to him. As she expected, he was thinking deeply about what she said. Rio smiled. At least he listens to people.
Rio took this chance to pull her arm out of his grasp and stepped about 5 steps away from him. "Bye, bye!" she called as she waved her arm. "Please don't ever come to my tree again when someone wants to confess to you!" With those words, Rio ran to the school building.
Kaito, still pondering, did not notice or took in her words until quite later. "...I have to earn respect huh...She's too wise for her age...I don't even know your name..."
Kaito straightened out and began walking towards the school building. He decided to forget about her since it would be highly unlikely he was ever going to meet her again...
Oh how wrong he was about that.
Well...Well...Hisashiburi ne? *sighs* It's been so long since I've been here. I've missed this sanctuary. Too bad I can't stay too long... You know, to tell you the truth, I love how everyone's writing diamond stories, but I kind of miss being the only one... You know what I'm saying? But keep those stories writing, er typing! Should I continue with this? I'm planning, yet I'm not. What do you guys think? Oh yeah, pardon the OCness. Since they are younger in this story, I would see them as more...feisty, you know... Well, that should be it! ~Ja ne!
